New Paltz is a small Hudson Valley village built around SUNY New Paltz, with a distinctive arts-and-outdoors character and the Shawangunk Mountains right next door. The village is compact and student housing is concentrated in walking distance of campus and the Main Street corridor. Most students start their search a year in advance, and leases typically run either 10 or 12 months depending on the landlord.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I look for off-campus housing?
Most students start their search a year in advance. The biggest wave of leasing happens August through November, with a second wave running January through March. Apartments in the most popular student neighborhoods fill quickly, so the earlier you start touring, the more options you'll have.
What neighborhoods do students usually live in?
Most SUNY New Paltz students live along Main Street, North Chestnut Street, and the residential blocks just south and east of campus. The village core — with its restaurants, coffee shops, and bars on Main Street — is walkable for nearly all student rentals. Some upperclassmen and grad students choose houses on the outskirts of town toward the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail.
Are utilities typically included in rent?
It depends on the landlord — every property is different. Some rentals include water and trash, others bundle in heat or internet, and many leave all utilities separate. Always confirm exactly what is included before signing, and ask for a recent utility average if heat or electricity is not covered.
Are leases 10 months or 12 months?
Both are common — it depends on the landlord. Twelve-month leases run the full calendar year and are typical for annual rentals, while ten-month leases align with the academic year for students who go home over the summer. Always check the exact lease start and end dates before signing.
Is Empire Off Campus free to use?
Yes — browsing listings and contacting landlords is completely free. There is no signup required, no application fees, and no middlemen. You reach out directly to the landlord by email or phone.
